Irrfan Khan, who is currently in Jaisalmer for Song Of Scorpions will soon be shooting with his favorite actress Waheeda Rehman and the actor is is excited about the opportunity. Irrfan says, “For me, it’s like flashback merging into the present. Waheedaji was not just a heroine, but a symbol of the perfect woman for me in Guide. Her dance on Kaanto Se Kheench Ke Keh Aanchal is amazing! I can close my eyes and see her in the song as if she is floating in the air. Her naughty smile in Sahib Biwi Gulam, Pyaasa... You can’t name just one film of hers. It’s a privilege to work with celluloid poetry. She is playing my mother-in-law in a song from SOS. She has the poise, the passion, and the understanding of the role which is rare to find. Waheedaji has been lucky to have worked with the best of directors in her career span.” Irrfan’s favorite Waheeda film is Phagun. And who is his favorite actor? “My favourite actor is Dilip Kumar saab and Motilal. I have not been so fortunate to have worked with them.”
